The Duck Yas‑Yas‑Yas
 

Mama bought a rooster : she thought it was a duck
She brought him to the table : with his legs straight up

In came the children : with a cup and a glass
To catch the liquor : from his yas yas yas

Babe oh babe : have you ever been to Spain
See those hoodoo women : shaking that thing

They got rings on their fingers : bells on their toes
What they got good babe : nobody knows

I'm going down : Market Street
Where the men and women : all do meet

That's where the men : do the Georgia rub
Women fall in line : with a big washtub

Me and my gal : walking down the street
She caught the rheumatism : in her feet

She stooped over : to pick some grass
And the same thing struck her : in the yas yas yas

You catch the train : you call Forty‑Nine
Carries you down : to Caroline

You catch the train : you call Forty‑Eight
Takes you right in : to the Golden Gate

You shake your shoulder : you shake them fast
You can't shake your shoulders : shake your yas yas yas

Drink some rooster soup : before going to bed
Wake up in the morning : find your own self dead

Down on Morgan : there's a good location
Right there : next to a gasoline station

That's where you'll get your car : oil and greased
Women crying honey : won't you come in please

I'm going to sing this verse : ain't going to sing no more
Somebody's knocking : on my door

The people upstairs : have gone to bed
I better stop that noise : before they crack my head
